DeParle calls migration the defining story of the 21st century — with 258 million migrants scattered across the globe, transforming economies, politics and culture.
He tells a piece of that story in a new book, “A Good Provider Is One Who Leaves.” In it, he follows three generations of a Filipino family from a slum in Manila, to a suburban cul-de-sac outside Houston.
